Most organizations have procedures in place for removing user accounts that are no longer required. If these procedures are not followed in every instance, then some accounts may remain active for months or years after the account owner has left the organization. Unused accounts are undesirable because they provide a means of unauthorized access, are prime targets for brute-force attacks and can increase license costs.

UAF displays a list of unused accounts based on the parameters supplied by the administrator. The administrator can then disable or delete the unused accounts manually, or let UAF do it automatically. UAF can also delete a user's Microsoft Exchange mailbox and home folder if desired.
